| | Political philosophy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Political and economic relations were drastically changed by these views as the guild was subordinated to free trade, and Roman Catholic dominance of theology was increasingly challenged by Protestant churches subordinate to each nation-state and which preached in the "vulgar" or native language of each region. | | | The rise of Islam based on both the Qur'an and the political philosophy of Muhammad strongly altered the power balances and perceptions of origin of power in the Mediterranean region. | | | Mencius : One of the most important thinkers in the Confucian school, he is the first theorist to make a coherent argument for an obligation of rulers to the ruled. |

| | Plato's Political Philosophy [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] |
| | Such ignorance in politics is the cause of mistakes and evils (118a). | | | Plato’s greatest achievement may be seen firstly in that he, in opposing the sophists, offered to decadent Athens, which had lost faith in her old religion, traditions, and customs, a means by which civilization and the city’s health could be restored: the recovery of order in both the polis and the soul. | | | Expert political knowledge for him should include not only knowledge of things out there, but also knowledge of oneself. |

| | Therefore, according to the ancients, religion is an imitation of philosophy. | | | Note the argument that on theoretical matters it can never be shown that there has been unanimity, since some of the experts may have believed that they should not communicate their knowledge to the public. | | | Abu Nasr Muhammad al-Farabi, Abu 'Ali al-Husayn Ibn Sina and Abu al-Walid Muhammad Ibn Ahmad Ibn Rushd were well known in the universities of medieval Europe under the Latinised forms of their names, Alfarabi, Avicenna and Averroes. |

| | That is, ethics and politics, which were two aspects of the same over-all moral life, had their relative autonomy and purpose. | | | Reason was the realm of the naturally political and the philosophical, not something belonging to both natural and supernatural realms in a non-contradictory way as it had been for St. Thomas. | | | Since philosophy and religion were said to be the major causes of disruption in actual regimes, they could not be permitted a position higher than politics. |

| | Simmering in the background, it must also be noted, are theological-political philosophies that deny any primacy to the individual or to the group in favor of the supreme status of the divine realm. | | | At the beginning, it was noted that for argument’s sake that theologically based political philosophies must come to terms or propose standards by which to judge a person's life on earth. | | | Nonetheless, between individualists (who emphasize the sacred status of the individual) and collectivists (who emphasize the sacred status of the group) exist a panoply of schools of thought that derive their impetus from the philosophical shades — the gray overlapping areas, which are today found in the perpetual disputes between individualists and communitarians. |

| | That does not imply a complete lack of social structures, though; instead, people may voluntarily choose to live according to certain rules or ideas and may similarly choose to do otherwise at a later date. | | | A contrast could also be made between the desire to formulate a civil law or constitution—defining and demarcating the nature and scope of government and the rights to be enjoyed by people living under it—and the practice of amending laws and societal arrangements on a case-by-case basis, as some countries did according to common law. | | | Are they instead more inclined to listen to their passions, their social groupings, cultural or religious ideas, and so on? |

| | The problem of toleration of people from other faiths became more pressing too as states were divided along Protestant and Catholic lines and as the opening up of the new world revealed new peoples and new religions. | | | Hence the vexed issue of the relation between church and state still needed to be resolved and this issue alone provided much impetus for the writing of political philosophy in the period. | | | By the end of the period a form of Lockean liberalism had emerged as, arguably, the most important political philosophy. |
